Why should B2B marketers be interested in branding, besides the logo, strapline and corporate identity issue? Is there more to B2B branding that initially meets the eye?

While no one can deny the value of big consumer brands such as Nike, Coca-Cola, and Apple, people often contest the value of branding in the B2B world. Among the disbelievers are some B2B marketers who are most accustomed to living in a world governed by open rates, form submissions, and b2b lead generation, and are sometimes unsure of how to approach the seemingly intangible concept of “branding.” How does the value of a B2B brand extend beyond logos, straplines, and the corporate style guide?

Branding in the B2B world

To understand branding’s value in the B2B space, think about the last purchase you made as a consumer. Maybe it was a bar of chocolate, a television, or a new car. While the decision to buy the chocolate bar may have been somewhat impulsive, the choices to purchase a certain television or car likely took a bit more time and preparation. In most cases, the buying process was longer because of the kind of investment you were making (i.e. large-ticket items that have long-term lifestyle effects).

Now think of the last purchase you made for your company. B2B purchases are almost never “chocolate bar” purchases, and for the same reason—they tend to be expensive and require long-term commitment from organisations to ensure their success. Furthermore, the typical B2B buying process is more complex, often involving more than one person in the decision-making process.

Although the eBook only covers the subject of branding it is an essential part of your overall marketing mix that should include SEO, Blogging, Social Media Marketing, Email marketing and much more. All combine to give you the leads and then sales you need to keep your company growing and profitable.
